About Adriana

I am a classically trained and qualified professional cellist with over 30 years experience in chamber music and performance, and 20 years experience in teaching. In the past thirty years, I have played with orchestras such as the Pro Musica Orchestra under Weiss Doubell, and others, I have performed as a soloist with the Johannesburg Symphony Orchestra and I have played numerous commercial gigs for weddings and functions. I have previously also taught clarinet, flute and cello at the 'Eyethu' Project in Soweto, from where new members are sourced for the Soweto Buskaid Chamber group. Exams for this body were specifically ABRSM, in which I have maintained a good track record, and the students at the JCE section whom I taught were all members of the Johannesburg Youth Orchestra, which is well-known and highly accomplished. From the beginning, a new player is taught to play studies with a second voice duet format, which I play with, to achieve good intonation and aural development, and giving the new player a head start when playing with other musicians for the first time, and beyond. My experience in exam preparation is also solid, and I do preparation for both Trinity and ABRSM up to grade 8 level. In this past year (2019), my exam entries achieved their 80% for up to Trinity grade 7 cello in the second session external exams. ****During 2022, one of my students, playing grade 7 Trinity, scored 21/22 for The Swan, composed by Saint-Saens. I do believe that this is quite unique and very seldom achieved, to score this high for this particular piece. (the two other pieces scored 20/22....) Further scores achieved had been for a matric cello student achieving a 90% score for her matric year. In the past five years, I have produced three scholarship students (starting from scratch) at the secondary school, Brescia House School in Bryanston, where I teach part-time. These music scholarships, awarded only once a year to just one student in grade 7, are currently worth approximately R 400,000, covering 50% of absolutely everything for high school, making a huge difference at the cost of private schooling. I currently teach clarinet, saxophone and cello at ST Peter's Girls Prep in Paulshof, as well as saxophone and cello at ST Peter's COLLEGE in Sunninghill. I also teach flute as a secondary instrument, however, cello remains my principal instrument. Should a student not have an instrument at first, I am able to point the person in the right direction for cello rental on a month-to-month basis.
